One of the biggest mistakes many people make is thinking that happiness is

0:04

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

always in the future.

0:05

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

People say,

0:07

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

when I get a better job,

0:09

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

then I will be happy.

0:11

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

When I buy a bigger house,

0:13

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

then I will be happy.

0:14

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

When I make more money,

0:17

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

then life will finally feel good.

0:19

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

But this way of thinking is very dangerous.

0:22

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Why?

0:23

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Because life is always now.

0:26

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

if we always wait for the future to be happy we may never enjoy

0:30

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

the present moment i remember a friend of mine who worked very hard

0:34

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

he kept telling himself when i save enough money i will travel

0:39

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

and enjoy life but years passed and he kept working

0:43

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

working and working he did save a lot of money but

0:47

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

his health became weak and he lost energy by the time he

0:51

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

wanted to travel it was not the same

0:55

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

this story shows us that happiness cannot be delayed forever if

1:00

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

we keep saying later we may never enjoy now that

1:04

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

is why small moments are so important happiness

1:08

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

often lives in small ordinary things the

1:12

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

sound of birds in the morning the first sip of tea or coffee

1:16

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

the smile of someone you love or even

1:20

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

the feeling of lying down after a long day

1:24

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

these are simple moments but they are powerful money cannot

1:28

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

buy them and sometimes we forget how valuable they are

1:32

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

let me give you another example once i was walking

1:36

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

in the park and i saw two children laughing loudly while chasing

1:41

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

each other they had no expensive toys no phones

1:45

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

no gadgets just laughter in that

1:49

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

moment i realized that joy does not need big things

1:54

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

joy can come from being free being present and being

1:58

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

alive now i want to talk about another word that connects

2:02

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

with this idea the word is presence presence

2:06

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

means being fully here in this moment not thinking about the

2:10

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

past not worrying about the future many times our

2:14

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

body is in one place but our mind is somewhere else we

2:19

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

are eating but our mind is at work

2:22

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

we are walking but our mind is on problems this

2:26

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

takes away our happiness real happiness often comes

2:30

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

from presents if you drink tea really drink it

2:34

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

if you talk to a friend really listen if

2:38

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

you walk outside notice the trees the sky the

2:42

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

wind these simple acts of presents can bring more

2:46

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

joy than any expensive thing and that brings us to another

2:50

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

lesson

2:52

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

clutter clutter means too much stuff not just

2:56

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

in your house but also in your mind many people

3:00

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

buy too many things and their homes become full but

3:04

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

their hearts feel empty less clutter means more clarity

3:08

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

if we remove extra things if we make life simple

3:12

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

then we can see what is truly important i knew a woman who used

3:17

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

to collect many clothes shoes and bags

3:20

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Her house was full of things,

3:22

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

but she was never satisfied.

3:24

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Later,

3:25

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

she decided to give away many items to people in need.

3:29

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

After that,

3:31

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

she told me,

3:31

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

I feel lighter.

3:33

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

I feel more free.

3:35

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

That is the magic of reducing clutter.

3:38

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

You don't just clean your house,

3:40

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

you clean your mind.

3:41

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Now let's return to the big question.

3:44

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

What is true wealth?

3:46

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

many people think wealth means money in the bank but real wealth

3:50

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

is different real wealth is health peace love time

3:55

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

and relationships you can be the richest person in the world

3:59

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

but if you are sick lonely or stressed you will not

4:03

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

enjoy your money but if you are healthy if you have good

4:07

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

relationships if you sleep peacefully that is real wealth

4:12

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

there is also another beautiful part of wealth giving we

4:17

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

spoke about it in part one but i want to go deeper here giving

4:22

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

is not losing giving is multiplying

4:26

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

when you give to someone you don't become poor in

4:31

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

fact you become richer in heart

4:34

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

science also shows that people who help others often feel more happiness

4:38

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

and live longer lives i once saw a simple act that touched

4:42

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

me deeply a poor man who had very little money bought

4:47

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

bread for a hungry child he could have kept that money for himself

4:51

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

but he chose to share the child smiled

4:55

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

and the man smiled too that moment was priceless

5:00

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

money was spent but happiness was created and

5:04

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

happiness is more valuable than money so maybe the real question

5:08

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

we must ask ourselves is not how can i earn more money but

5:12

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

how can i live in a way that gives me peace joy and meaning

5:17

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

now let us talk about burnout burnout happens when we work too

5:21

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

much when we never rest when we push ourselves beyond our limits

5:26

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

many people think working non -stop will bring success but it often

5:30

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

brings stress sickness and unhappiness i myself

5:34

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

have faced burnout i kept saying yes to everything until my body and mind

5:38

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

became tired it was a hard lesson but it taught me something

5:42

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

important life is not a race

5:45

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

rest is also success when we rest when

5:49

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

we take care of our health when we say no sometimes we actually

5:54

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

gain more energy to do good work and this makes us happier so

5:58

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

money is important but if we destroy our health while chasing it we are

6:02

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

not really winning now let's connect this with time again time

6:07

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

is more valuable than money because once it goes it never returns

6:11

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

think about your happiest memories

6:14

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Were they moments when you were buying things?

6:17

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Or were they moments when you were with people you love?

6:20

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Sharing laughter,

6:21

S… Speaker 2 (abcd)

talking,

6:22

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

or simply sitting together?

6:24

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Most people will agree.

6:26

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

The happiest memories come from connection,

6:28

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

not from shopping.

6:30

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

I remember one evening with my family.

6:33

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

We had simple food,

6:34

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

just bread and tea.

6:35

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

But we sat together,

6:37

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

told stories,

6:38

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

and laughed until our stomachs hurt.

6:41

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

that moment was one of the happiest in my life and it cost

6:45

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

almost nothing this shows us again happiness is not

6:49

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

about price it is about presents now i want to ask you

6:53

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

a gentle question when was the last time you slowed down when

6:58

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

was the last time you sat without your phone

7:00

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

without noise and just enjoy the moment if you cannot remember

7:05

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

maybe it is time to make space in your life for stillness stillness

7:09

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

is powerful it helps you see clearly it helps you feel deeply

7:13

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

and it helps you connect with what truly matters the

7:18

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

truth is life is short no one knows how many years we

7:22

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

have

7:23

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

at the end of our lives we will not remember how many clothes we

7:27

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

bought or how many cars we drove we will remember the laughter

7:31

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

the hugs the sunsets the people who loved us

7:35

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

and the people we loved that is true happiness we

7:40

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

were talking about money time and happiness and how sometimes

7:44

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

we spend so much of our life chasing money that we forget

7:48

S… Speaker 2 (abcd)

to ask ourselves

7:50

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

if this is really making us happy and that thought leads to

7:54

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

another truth that many people forget many people believe happiness

7:58

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

will come one day in the future they say things like

8:03

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

when i earn more i will finally feel free or

8:07

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

when i buy that house then life will be complete or when

8:11

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

i get that job

8:12

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

then i will enjoy my days but the problem is life does

8:16

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

not wait for us time keeps moving if we always wait

8:21

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

for to -morrow to be happy then we may never feel joy to -day

8:25

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

remember one friend who kept working

8:28

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

harder and harder telling himself he would enjoy life later he

8:33

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

said when i save enough money i will travel when i

8:37

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

have more savings i will spend time with my family but

8:41

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

later never came by the time he had enough money his health was not

8:45

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

the same his body was tired his energy was gone and

8:49

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

the things he dreamed about were no longer possible that story

8:53

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

shows us something important

8:56

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

happiness cannot always be delayed we must find happiness

9:00

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

in to -day not just in to -morrow and this is why the small

9:04

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

things in life are so powerful

9:06

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

the truth is happiness is often hidden in the ordinary moments

9:11

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

the sound of birds in the morning the smell of fresh bread

9:15

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

the first sip of tea the hug of a child or even the

9:19

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

feeling of lying down after a long day these moments look small

9:23

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

but in reality they are very big money can buy many

9:27

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

things but it cannot buy the feeling of true presence let

9:31

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

me give you an example one day i was sitting in the park

9:35

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

and i saw two children laughing loudly while running after each other

9:39

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

they had no expensive toys no new clothes no gadgets just

9:44

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

laughter and in that moment i thought this is real joy

9:48

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

joy does not need a price tag joy comes from being alive

9:52

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

being together and being free in the present moment this

9:57

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

word present is very important

10:00

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

means to be fully here right now not lost in yesterday not

10:04

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

worried about tomorrow many times our bodies are here but our

10:08

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

minds are far away we eat food but we are thinking about work we

10:13

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

talk to our family but we are checking our phones we walk outside

10:17

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

but our mind is full of worries and when our mind is not present

10:21

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

happiness runs away true happiness is when we are present if

10:25

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

you are drinking tea feel the tea

10:28

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

if you are walking notice the trees the sky the birds

10:32

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

if you are listening to a friend really listen with

10:37

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

your whole heart these simple acts of being present can bring

10:41

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

more peace than the biggest salary and now let's connect this idea with

10:46

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

something else clutter clutter is when you have too much stuff

10:50

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

not only in your house but also in your mind many people think

10:54

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

happiness will come from buying more things

10:56

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

so they buy and buy until their homes are full but instead of feeling

11:01

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

happy they feel stressed too many things bring too many

11:05

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

worries less clutter brings more clarity when life is simple

11:09

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

it becomes easier to see what truly matters i knew a woman

11:13

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

who had closets full of clothes shoes and bags she always

11:17

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

wanted more but no matter how much she bought she never felt satisfied

11:22

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

One day,

11:23

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

she decided to give away many of her things to people who needed them.

11:27

S… Speaker 2 (abcd)

After that,

11:28

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

she told me,

11:28

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

I feel lighter.

11:30

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

I feel free.

11:31

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

That is the secret of less clutter.

11:33

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

When we let go of things,

11:35

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

we also let go of stress.

11:36

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

So the real question is this.

11:39

S… Speaker 2 (abcd)

What is wealth?

11:40

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Many people think wealth means a big bank account.

11:44

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

But real wealth is different.

11:45

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Real wealth is good health,

11:47

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

peaceful sleep,

11:48

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

loving relationships,

11:50

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

time to enjoy,

11:51

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

and a mind that is calm.

11:53

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

You can be rich in money but poor in spirit.

11:56

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

And you can be simple in money but rich in love and peace.

12:00

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Which one is better?

12:01

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Another part of real wealth is giving.

12:03

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Giving is not about losing.

12:05

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

It is about gaining something deeper.

12:08

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

When you give,

12:09

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

you may lose money,

12:10

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

but you gain joy.

12:12

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

and joy is more powerful than money even science says that people

12:16

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

who help others often feel happier and live longer i once

12:20

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

saw something that touched me deeply a poor man who had very little

12:24

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

bought bread for a hungry child he could have kept the money for

12:28

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

himself but instead he chose to share the child

12:32

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

smiled and the man smiled too in that moment both became

12:37

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

richer not in money but in happiness

12:42

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

And this also connects to another problem we face,

12:44

S… Speaker 2 (abcd)

burnout.

12:45

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Burnout is what happens when we work too hard for too long

12:50

S… Speaker 2 (abcd)

without rest.

12:51

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Many people believe that if they keep working,

12:54

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

they will finally be successful and happy.

12:57

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

but what actually happens is the opposite they get tired they lose

13:01

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

energy and they even lose their health i know this from my own life

13:05

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

i once said yes to everything to every project every opportunity

13:10

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

until one day my body and my mind became completely tired

13:14

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

that is burnout and it taught me an important lesson

13:18

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

success is not only about doing more success is also about knowing

13:23

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

when to stop and rest rest is not laziness rest is fuel

13:27

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

when we rest when we take care of our health when we slow down

13:31

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

we gain new energy and that energy makes us more creative more

13:35

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

productive and more alive so remember this money

13:40

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

is important but health is more important now let's

13:44

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

return again to the idea of time

13:46

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Time is the most valuable treasure we have.

13:48

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Money can always come and go,

13:50

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

but time only goes.

13:51

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Once it is gone,

13:53

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

it never comes back.

13:54

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Think about your happiest memories.

13:56

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Were they times when you were buying something expensive?

14:00

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Or were they times when you were sitting with your family,

14:03

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

laughing with your friends,

14:05

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

or watching a sunset?

14:06

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Most people will agree.

14:08

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

The happiest memories are about connection.

14:11

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

not about shopping i remember one evening with my family we

14:16

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

had very simple food just bread and tea but we sat together we

14:20

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

told stories and we laughed until our stomachs hurt that evening

14:24

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

cost almost nothing but it was priceless it became one of my happiest

14:28

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

memories and this shows us again that happiness does not come from price

14:33

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

it comes from presents so i want to ask you a gentle question right

14:37

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

now when was the last time you slowed down

14:41

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

When was the last time you just sat without your phone?

14:44

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Without rushing and enjoyed the moment.

14:46

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

If you cannot remember,

14:48

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

maybe it is time to create that space.

14:51

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Stillness is not empty.

14:52

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Stillness is full of peace,

14:54

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

full of meaning.

14:55

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

It helps us see what is important and let go of what is not.

15:00

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

life is short my friends nobody knows how many days or years we

15:04

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

have so instead of always chasing money why not also chase

15:08

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

peace love and kindness at the end of our lives we

15:12

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

will not remember how many gadgets we bought or how many cars we drove

15:16

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

we will remember the hugs the laughter the people we

15:20

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

loved and the people who loved us and that is true happiness when

15:25

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

we think about happiness many of us imagine something big

15:28

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

We imagine winning the lottery,

15:30

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

buying a dream house,

15:32

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

or traveling around the world.

15:34

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

But the truth is,

15:35

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

happiness is often not something big.

15:37

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

It is something small.

15:39

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

And when we learn to see it,

15:41

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

our whole life changes.

15:42

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Sometimes we forget this,

15:45

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

because the world around us tells us the opposite.

15:48

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Advertisements,

15:49

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

social media,

15:50

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

and even society keeps saying,

15:52

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

buy more,

15:53

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

have more,

15:54

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

15:55

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

everywhere we look there is a message that more is better more

15:59

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

money more clothes more likes more followers but does

16:04

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

more always mean better no in fact sometimes more

16:08

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

creates less happiness when life becomes too full joy

16:12

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

becomes buried under pressure so maybe the wiser question is not how

16:16

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

can i get more but what is enough for me

16:20

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Enough is a very gentle and beautiful word.

16:22

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Enough means you have what you need.

16:25

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Not too little,

16:26

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

not too much.

16:28

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

enough brings peace when we realize we already have enough we

16:32

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

stop running we stop comparing ourselves to others we

16:36

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

stop feeling behind instead we feel grateful and gratitude

16:40

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

is one of the most powerful keys to happiness gratitude means

16:44

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

saying thank you not just with words but with the heart thank

16:48

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

you for the food on the table thank you for the roof above my head

16:52

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

thank you for the people who care about me

16:55

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Thank you even for the challenges,

16:57

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

because they make me stronger.

16:59

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

A grateful heart finds joy in every season,

17:02

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

rich or poor.

17:03

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

I once kept a small notebook,

17:05

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

and every night before sleeping,

17:08

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

I wrote down three things I was grateful for.

17:11

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Sometimes it was something big,

17:13

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

like a friend helping me in a hard time.

17:16

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Other times it was something small,

17:18

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

like the taste of warm soup.

17:21

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

But after weeks of writing,

17:23

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

I noticed something.

17:24

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

My mind changed.

17:26

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Instead of always seeing what was missing,

17:28

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

I began to see what was already here.

17:31

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

And that gave me peace.

17:34

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Now, let's connect this with another idea.

17:37

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Value Many people measure their value by money.

17:41

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

They think,

17:42

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

if I earn a lot,

17:43

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

I am important.

17:44

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

If I earn little,

17:45

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

I am not important.

17:46

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

But this is not true.

17:48

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Your value is not your paycheck.

17:51

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

your value is not your bank account your value is who you

17:55

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

are how you live and how you treat others a kind

17:59

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

person with little money can be worth more than a selfish person

18:03

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

with millions i remember a man in my neighbourhood he

18:08

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

worked as a cleaner his job was not glamorous and his income was

18:12

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

not high

18:13

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

but he was always kind he greeted everyone he helped children

18:17

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

cross the road and he even fed stray dogs people

18:21

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

loved him when he passed away the whole community came

18:25

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

to honour him that showed me something important money fades

18:30

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

but kindness remains this brings me to one more lesson

18:34

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

sharing when we share we not only help others but

18:38

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

also remind ourselves that we are part of something bigger

18:42

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

a community,

18:43

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

a family,

18:44

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

humanity itself.

18:45

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Sharing can be as simple as giving your time

18:49

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

listening to someone who is sad or offering encouragement these

18:53

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

things cost nothing but they bring happiness to both the giver and

18:58

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

the receiver i once saw a young boy give his sandwich to another

19:02

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

boy who had no lunch the hungry boy ate with joy

19:06

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

and the boy who gave the sandwich smiled even more that

19:10

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

is the power of sharing you don't become less by giving you

19:14

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

actually become more

19:16

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

So what do we do with all of these lessons?

19:18

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

How do we live a life where money and happiness are balanced?

19:22

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Here are a few simple but powerful steps.

19:25

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

First,

19:25

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

use money for needs,

19:27

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

not just for wants.

19:28

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Food,

19:29

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

shelter,

19:30

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

health and safety are needs.

19:32

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

After that,

19:33

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

ask yourself if more is really necessary.

19:35

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Second,

19:36

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

spend time wisely.

19:37

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Time is your true treasure.

19:39

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Spend it on people you love,

19:41

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

on things that make you grow.

19:44

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

on experiences that bring you peace don't waste all your time

19:48

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

chasing money because money can return but time never will

19:52

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

third practice gratitude start noticing what you already have

19:56

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

write it down if you can gratitude changes your vision

20:06

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Don't fill your life with too many things.

20:09

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Simple living brings clearer thinking and deeper joy.

20:12

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Fifth, give and share.

20:14

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Even small acts of kindness can create big happiness.

20:17

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

You don't need to be rich to give.

20:20

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

You just need a kind heart.

20:22

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

And finally,

20:24

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

rest.

20:24

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Don't let burnout steal your joy.

20:27

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Rest is not wasting time.

20:29

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Rest is protecting your energy so you can live fully.

20:33

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

if you follow these steps you will see something amazing you

20:37

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

will discover that money is important yes but it is not everything

20:41

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

money can buy a bed but not peaceful sleep money

20:46

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

can buy food but not the taste of love at the dinner table money

20:50

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

can buy medicine but not perfect health money can buy

20:54

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

entertainment but not true joy happiness is not something outside

20:59

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

you it is something inside you

21:02

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

It is in your choices,

21:03

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

in your gratitude,

21:05

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

in your presence,

21:06

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

in your love.

21:07

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

So as we end today's reflection,

21:09

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

I want to leave you with one gentle thought.

21:12

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Happiness is not far away.

21:14

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

It is not waiting for you in the future.

21:17

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

It is not hiding in the next paycheck or the next purchase.

21:21

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

It is already here,

21:22

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

in small things,

21:24

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

in quiet moments,

21:25

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

in your heart.

21:27

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

You don't have to chase it.

21:29

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

You just have to notice it.

21:31

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Take time today to pause,

21:33

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

to breathe,

21:34

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

to look around.

21:35

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Maybe your happiness is already sitting next to you.

21:38

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Maybe it is in the smile of someone you love.

21:41

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Maybe it is in the simple act of being alive.

21:44

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

Hold on to that and remember,

21:46

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

money can support your life.

21:48

S… Speaker 1 (abcd)

But happiness makes your life beautiful.
